When i was considerong buying a fairphone, fairphones with e/os came up and wondered if it was a good option for privacy.
I do not like pixels, and would love nothing to do with that phone. I prefer my one plus and if i can keep that still have my privacy, that would be nice.
E/os can be put on different android phones my one plus included.
I believe CalyxOS is better from a security standpoint than LineageOS and forks (including /e/).
They also support Fairphone.

The point was privacy. Calyx has the philosophy that sending data to Google is good so you do not appear as unusual. But they forget that you can’t be detected by Google as an unusual user if you do not connect to Google at all.
CalyxOS comes with MicroG just as many of the LineageOS forks but allows you to disable it, among other options.
